Students from Albuquerque’s 21st Century Public Academy recently had the opportunity to immerse themselves in history at the Coronado Historic Site. The visit took place on March 14, 2024, where the students explored the beauty of the location and had the chance to visit Kuaua Pueblo, a structure built by the Tiwa People over 700 years ago.

During their visit, the students engaged in various activities, including grinding corn, learning about traditional gardening methods, and touring the painted kiva. The experience provided them with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region, bridging the gap between the 21st and 14th centuries.

In addition to the educational tour, the Coronado Historic Site also announced an upcoming event on May 5, 2024. The event, named "Dawn to Dusk," will feature Wildlife Rescue Inc. of New Mexico, showcasing hawks, falcons, and other raptors. Visitors are encouraged to attend and witness these magnificent birds up close.

For those interested in visiting the Coronado Historic Site, the operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Monday, with Tuesdays being the designated day of closure. Furthermore, the site offers free admission to New Mexico residents with a state ID on the first Sunday of the month from May to October.

The Coronado Historic Site serves as a valuable resource for both locals and tourists alike, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It provides a platform for individuals to connect with the past while appreciating the present-day wonders of New Mexico's landscape.
